Stuart's voice is reminiscent of our family Baptist Pastor in Swansea 1940s and 1950s Rev R. Emrys Davies of Mount Pleasant Baptist Church Kingsway Swansea His preaching was legendary and his vocal prowess and magnificent golden round timbre of hymns and arias etc was absolutely exceptional For me Stuart is/was the tops One can still hear him on Radio Wales Beverley Humphreys show 10pm to 1am Sunday nights
Glad you liked this so much, I love Stuart Burrows voice, and I'm always so happy when people like you take the time to leave nice comments. Thanks. . and I have to say, I love your cockateel whistling along with you on your page... Love it.
Stuart Burrows is one of the great British tenors of the past fifty years. He excelled in opera, especially Mozart. I had the privilege of hearing him at Covent Garden singing Gounod's Faust, probably forty years ago. One of the most underrated tenors of the century
I first heard Stuart at Grand Theatre Swansea 1960s A different opera for each of a 6 night week Stuart Burrows is legendary and always superb Mozart Rossini operas or Victorian/Edwardian parlour ballads etc
Wonderful. It is, after all, a berceuse, a lullaby, and I like this one better than the TV version. This is right up there with Richard Crooks' classic recording of the S. J. Reilly text. We had it on a 78, but many years ago, I got it on Richard Crooks Souvenirs, RCA Camden LP, CAL 128. I have not found it on YT. It is better than the radio broadcast version with Howard Barlow and orchestra, which uses another text, closer to the French, I think, but not as poetic as the Reilly text. Both Burrows and Crooks skip the second verse, which I tend to agree with.
I can only agree with you when you state that it is Wonderful. How could anybody not like this! A performance so full of feeling and warmth, just beautiful. Thank you so much for your most welcome and lovely comments.
You're most welcome. BTW, I just found Richard Crooks' recording of the Reilly text on Spotify. It still moves me to tears, and so does this recording by Burrows. I recommend it to you, though it may just be that the Crooks version is imprinted on me. There is a very fine 1930 recording in French by the Belgian tenor, Andre D'Arkor, who was previously unknown to me. I want to do this, and I recently found the score in D-flat, a nice baritone key. I doubt if I can do what Burrows and Crooks were able to do, but we'll see when I get it in my voice. Now, if I can just keep from crying when I sing it . . I always was a sucker for a damsel in distress.
Soft, and tender, and beautiful... ⭐️💖👏

SUBLIME 👌🏼
What a gorgeous voice. It seems so easy for him. Does he sing opera? I wish he had sung the traditional lyrics.
